Hi Bill,
   I stole from a manual example (Notation Ref, search BreakAlignment) the 
method to re-arrange the clef and barline, and remembered how to move the brace.

\relative c''{
  \key g\major c d e fis
  <<
    {
      \once\override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders =
      #(make-vector 3 '(span-bar staff-bar clef key-signature time-signature) )
      g1
    }
    \new GrandStaff <<
      \new Staff{
        \once\override GrandStaff.SystemStartBrace #'X-offset = #0
        \key g\major \clef treble  c,1
      } \new Staff {
      \key g\major \clef bass c,1
} >> >>
